Dave, Thanks for the response back on TLAB. I have read your posts on the Yahoo and SI threads for sometime and greatly appreciate your perspective. I has been your analysis that has driven me to buy a substantial position in the company. Thanks. Do you think that the news will continue to be great? I say great because we are starting to move to levels that things need to be right on. If not we will drop. Long term this is all noise as TLAB will always,always go higher eventually. I have shares on a short term trade (picked up at $60) and looking at maybe moving it to long term. Ideas appreciated. Keep up the great work, Mike

Pretty good assessment, Dave. The technical breakout points to low 100's for its initial move ( the handle), later the erasure of last year gives you the 150's. The PEs allow it, just look at this company versus CSCO or DELL and you can see where the money has gone in recent weeks. Ciena news releases any suscipicions of a reclaimant deal. Anybody have another big winner like this? outside the internet, of course.
